SUMMARY:CSA Gateway Instructor Certification Course (Slidell\, LA)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you an experienced shooter who wants to teach others about basic marksmanship and firearm safety? This is the course for you! Instructor candidates will learn to develop\, organize\, and teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of “gateway instruction” developed by Citizens Safety Academy.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nThis course teaches experienced shooters how to design\, organize\, and conduct a gateway (entry-level) pistol shooting course.  \nThere are many instructor certification courses available\, but most suffer from at least one of three common shortcomings. First\, they often spend too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Second\, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without enough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new\, first-time shooters. Third\, many instructor courses tend to ignore the cultural and demographic dynamics of today’s market of firearms trainees.  \nWith the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites\, millennials\, trauma victims\, and others who don’t fit the traditional stereotypes of gun ownership\, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st Century market. CSA developed what we call the “gateway” instructional model in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.  \nInstructor candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course (including leading a line of live-fire shooters through a course of fire). Candidates will also have to pass an instructor certification examination and a shooting qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor’s Guide that participants can take home with them for future reference.  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/f968PvR1A8Y” el_width=”60″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is “gateway instruction“?” tab_id=”topics”][vc_column_text]When we say “gateway instruction\,” we mean true entry-level content\, designed for students who’ve overcome boundaries\, obstacles\, social disincentives\, or other adverse odds to learn to shoot for the first time. We have found that many “beginner” classes on the market are often weighed down by assumptions and misperceptions about what new shooters typically bring with them. These classes often take for granted that every student has the same opinion about guns\, everyone has the same understanding of gun safety\, and everyone generally understands how guns work and what they’re used for. But that’s often not the case. \nAt CSA\, we take a different approach. Gateway instruction levels the playing field by allowing all students to enter the firearms training world without any pressure to know more than they know\, or to be someone they aren’t. One of the many benefits of this teaching technique (and the reason we call it “gateway instruction”) is that it greatly increases the chances of students investing in more training and becoming members of the training community\, rather than just visitors or sightseers. We hope to be an “on-ramp” for those who might otherwise see themselves as outsiders to the gun world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Topics Covered” tab_id=”1628349014244-f4941925-2c89″][vc_column_text]Every class is a little different\, so we often have to make adjustments based on time and facility constraints; but our standard Gateway Instructor curriculum includes the following: \n\nAdult learning theory\nEffective communication skills / public speaking\nDepoliticizing instruction\, content\, and facilities\nDesigning and using effective training aids\nConnecting with inexperienced\, fearful\, and non-traditional students\nMaking classroom lectures interactive and engaging\nEffective use of multi-media in the modern classroom\nConcepts from the pivotal text\, “Telling Ain’t Training\,” by Keeps and Stolovitch\nClassroom management\nRange management\nTeaching basic principles of lawful defensive force\nManaging students with past trauma or emotional triggers\nEffective assessment / written examination design\nHow to control and command a firing line\nThe “Less is More” principle\nEffective range commands\nStudent-centric range exercises\nDifferentiating between skill drills and performance drills\nManaging students with physical limitations or disabilities\nTeaching both left- and right-handed students\nManaging firing lines with revolvers and semi-autos of different action types\nEffective use of assistant instructors\nSafety protocols and emergency procedures\nAnd much more!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]For this class\, you’ll need: \n\nAn open  mind\nA positive attitude\nA reliable semi-automatic handgun (9mm or larger)\nRoughly 200 rounds of ammunition (ammo usage will depend on how many times we need to shoot the 25-round qualification course and how much time we have to shoot skill drills).\nEye and ear protection\nComfortable clothing appropriate for shooting (indoor ranges can be cold)\, brimmed hat/cap\, trimmed fingernails (no high-heeled or open-toed shoes or low cut blouses) snacks and water. If at an outdoor range\, weather appropriate attire\, bug spray\, snacks and water\nNotebook and pens or an electronic device (laptop/tablet) for note taking\n\nNote that you will NOT need a holster for the range exercises. We’ll send an email to all students within a week of class with more details on what to bring and what to expect.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”1628346266996-187710a0-a7dc”][vc_column_text]Instructor candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience.

SUMMARY:Presentation Design for Professional Trainers (2-Part Webinar Series)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professional trainers! Are you making the most of your presentation slides? Many presenters are only scratching the surface. Let’s fix that! Welcome to Part 1 of our two-part webinar series on presentation design.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Description” tab_id=”course-description”][vc_column_text]\nHave you ever heard the phrase\, “death by PowerPoint”? Many professional trainers are barely scratching the surface of what presentation slide decks can do. When misused or underused\, slide decks can be a great cure for insomnia. But when used effectively\, strategically\, and creatively\, your slides can multiply the impact of your instruction and greatly increase student engagement\, comprehension\, and retention. Well made slides are also a fantastic organizational tool for instructors to stay on task and optimize their time management. If you’re curious about how you might supercharge your slide decks\, this webinar series is for you! \nThe course is conducted over two separate two-hour sessions. The course tuition covers both sessions.  \nClick here to register. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Webinar Part 1: Nuts & Bolts” tab_id=”part-one”][vc_column_text]\nTuesday\, Nov. 14\, 2023 @ 7pm to 9pm Central\n\nQuick overview of lesser-known tips and tricks for maximizing the effectiveness and engagement level of your slide decks\nIncludes how-to tutorials and design best practices\n“Buffet style” webinar: Audience will have an extensive menu of micro-topics and vote on which topics we’ll cover \nPrimary focus is PowerPoint\, but the ideas and design techniques apply to Keynote\, Google Slides\, Prezi\, Aha Slides\, or any presentation software\nPossible topics include: rethinking bullet points\, highlighting text\, zoom effects\, scroll effects\, transitions and animations (including what NOT to do)\, arrangement and spacing\, finding and editing images (and audio\, video\, icons\, screenshots\, and other media)\, working with color\, and much more\n\nNOTE: Your tuition for one ticket covers BOTH Part 1 and Part 2.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Webinar Part 2: Hands-On Workshop” tab_id=”part-two”][vc_column_text]\nTuesday\, Nov. 21\, 2023 @ 7pm to 9pm Central\n\nIn this second session\, we’ll work live in real slide decks and walk through the editing and refinement process together\nAll attendees will have an opportunity to submit sample decks that could be used (anonymously) in the workshop\nAll attendees will receive at least one sample deck to reference and follow along during the workshop (two monitors highly recommended\, but not required)\n\nNOTE: Your tuition for one ticket covers BOTH Part 1 and Part 2.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Who should attend?” tab_id=”who-should-attend”][vc_column_text]\n\nTrainers who think presentation slides are useless\nTrainers who aren’t sure how to leverage slide decks\nTrainers who have never had formal training in presentation design\nTrainers who think slides should be printed out as a handout\nTrainers who want their slides to amplify their teaching\nTrainers who want effective visual aids to reinforce student learning\nAnyone curious about the intersection between instruction and design\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Webinar Recordings” tab_id=”recordings”][vc_column_text]\nWill the webinars be recorded?\nYES!

SUMMARY:CSA Gateway Instructor Certification Course (Bandera\, TX)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you an experienced shooter who wants to teach others about basic marksmanship and firearm safety? This is the course for you! Instructor candidates will learn to develop\, organize\, and teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of “gateway instruction” developed by Citizens Safety Academy.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nThis course teaches experienced shooters how to design\, organize\, and conduct a gateway (entry-level) pistol shooting course.  \nThere are many instructor certification courses available\, but most suffer from at least one of three common shortcomings. First\, they often spend too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Second\, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without enough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new\, first-time shooters. Third\, many instructor courses tend to ignore the cultural and demographic dynamics of today’s market of firearms trainees.  \nWith the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites\, millennials\, trauma victims\, and others who don’t fit the traditional stereotypes of gun ownership\, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st Century market. CSA developed what we call the “gateway” instructional model in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.  \nInstructor candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course (including leading a line of live-fire shooters through a course of fire). Candidates will also have to pass an instructor certification examination and a shooting qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor’s Guide that participants can take home with them for future reference.  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/f968PvR1A8Y” el_width=”60″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is “gateway instruction“?” tab_id=”topics”][vc_column_text]When we say “gateway instruction\,” we mean true entry-level content\, designed for students who’ve overcome boundaries\, obstacles\, social disincentives\, or other adverse odds to learn to shoot for the first time. We have found that many “beginner” classes on the market are often weighed down by assumptions and misperceptions about what new shooters typically bring with them. These classes often take for granted that every student has the same opinion about guns\, everyone has the same understanding of gun safety\, and everyone generally understands how guns work and what they’re used for. But that’s often not the case. \nAt CSA\, we take a different approach. Gateway instruction levels the playing field by allowing all students to enter the firearms training world without any pressure to know more than they know\, or to be someone they aren’t. One of the many benefits of this teaching technique (and the reason we call it “gateway instruction”) is that it greatly increases the chances of students investing in more training and becoming members of the training community\, rather than just visitors or sightseers. We hope to be an “on-ramp” for those who might otherwise see themselves as outsiders to the gun world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Topics Covered” tab_id=”1628349014244-f4941925-2c89″][vc_column_text]Every class is a little different\, so we often have to make adjustments based on time and facility constraints; but our standard Gateway Instructor curriculum includes the following: \n\nAdult learning theory\nEffective communication skills / public speaking\nDepoliticizing instruction\, content\, and facilities\nDesigning and using effective training aids\nConnecting with inexperienced\, fearful\, and non-traditional students\nMaking classroom lectures interactive and engaging\nEffective use of multi-media in the modern classroom\nConcepts from the pivotal text\, “Telling Ain’t Training\,” by Keeps and Stolovitch\nClassroom management\nRange management\nTeaching basic principles of lawful defensive force\nManaging students with past trauma or emotional triggers\nEffective assessment / written examination design\nHow to control and command a firing line\nThe “Less is More” principle\nEffective range commands\nStudent-centric range exercises\nDifferentiating between skill drills and performance drills\nManaging students with physical limitations or disabilities\nTeaching both left- and right-handed students\nManaging firing lines with revolvers and semi-autos of different action types\nEffective use of assistant instructors\nSafety protocols and emergency procedures\nAnd much more!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]For this class\, you’ll need: \n\nAn open  mind\nA positive attitude\nA reliable semi-automatic handgun (9mm or larger)\nRoughly 200 rounds of ammunition (ammo usage will depend on how many times we need to shoot the 25-round qualification course and how much time we have to shoot skill drills).\nEye and ear protection\nComfortable clothing appropriate for shooting (indoor ranges can be cold)\, brimmed hat/cap\, trimmed fingernails (no high-heeled or open-toed shoes or low cut blouses) snacks and water. If at an outdoor range\, weather appropriate attire\, bug spray\, snacks and water\nNotebook and pens or an electronic device (laptop/tablet) for note taking\n\nNote that you will NOT need a holster for the range exercises. We’ll send an email to all students within a week of class with more details on what to bring and what to expect. \nNote on Ammo:\nWe are mindful of the current ammunition shortage. We will do our very best to be conservative with ammo consumption throughout this course. The round count in the equipment list is a generous estimate\, and we hope to avoid having to use all of it. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”1628346266996-187710a0-a7dc”][vc_column_text]Instructor candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience. Candidates will be required to demonstrate how to safely handle\, load and unload both a revolver and a semi-automatic pistol.

This course is designed expressly for the armed citizen who carries a concealed handgun\, or the plain clothes or off-duty police officer. The goal is to develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindset necessary to dominate and end an inescapable deadly assault\, and then successfully defend those actions in court.  \nTopics include: \n\nMental awareness and techniques for gaining advantage in life-threatening confrontations\nProper defensive mindset and personal tactics \nConcealing a pistol properly and clothing considerations\nEffective gun handling techniques designed to work under stress\nRapid presentation from concealed carry during an attack (and safely concealing it)\nHigh speed accuracy at close ranges and precision shooting at mid ranges\nRapidly and reliably fixing pistol malfunctions and reloading techniques \nShooting effectively with one hand\nShooting effectively with a cognitive load\nTactical anatomy \nProper skill development practices\n\nClass prerequisites: Completion of a state handgun carry permit class or other comparative pistol shooting class. You should also have some experience safely handling\, drawing and holstering a pistol. If you have questions about suitability of the course\, please email us at info@CitizensSafety.com or text us at 615-801-8007.  \nStudents who complete the course will receive a completion certificate.  \nWhat you will need to take the course: \n\nA quality pistol recommend minimum of 9mm or .38 Special. We recommend full or compact sized guns for this class. Sub-compact guns are much harder to shoot all day. A second gun like the first one is a good idea in case the first one breaks.\nA quality strong side hip or appendix holster – either form fitted leather or kydex\, the holster must completely cover the trigger guard\, allow a full firing grip with the gun in the holster and remain open while the gun is drawn. PLEASE NO flimsy nylon or cloth holsters.\nA quality belt\, purposely designed to securely attach the holster to the belt and support the weight of a fully loaded pistol.\nAbout 550-600 rounds of quality training ammunition. If you can bring more do so\nAT LEAST 3 magazines or speed loaders with appropriate belt pouches for the spare magazines. The more magazines you bring\, the better.\nClothing appropriate for concealing a firearm (vest\, jacket\, windbreaker\, over-shirt\, polo shirt\, etc.). Holsters must be worn concealed. \nEye protection and hearing protection (we recommend electronic) and we recommend a ball cap or brimmed hat to keep brass from going behind your eye protection. \nComfortable shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather.\nRain gear (we train rain or shine)\, bug repellant\, and sun screen if necessary.\nA cooler with soft drinks\, water\, snacks and lunch will be needed\, for lunch on site. We will not be leaving the range for lunch.\n\nYou can bring a revolver to this course\, but we strongly recommend against it as they tend not to last a full day of intensive shooting.  \nIf you need help putting the above items together please contact us before the class. Info@CitizensSafety.com. \nAqil Qadir will be your lead instructor assisted by other CSA instructors. \nGenerally\, refunds aren’t issued\, so please be sure you can make the date before purchase.  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Register Now” tab_id=”section-register-now”][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:CSA Gateway Instructor Certification Course (Nashville)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you an experienced shooter who wants to teach others about basic marksmanship and firearm safety? This is the course for you! Instructor candidates will learn to develop\, organize\, and teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of “gateway instruction” developed by Citizens Safety Academy.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nThis course teaches experienced shooters how to design\, organize\, and conduct a gateway (entry-level) pistol shooting course.  \nThere are many instructor certification courses available\, but most suffer from at least one of three common shortcomings. First\, they often spend too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Second\, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without enough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new\, first-time shooters. Third\, many instructor courses tend to ignore the cultural and demographic dynamics of today’s market of firearms trainees.  \nWith the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites\, millennials\, trauma victims\, and others who don’t fit the traditional stereotypes of gun ownership\, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st Century market. CSA developed what we call the “gateway” instructional model in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.  \nInstructor candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course (including leading a line of live-fire shooters through a course of fire). Candidates will also have to pass an instructor certification examination and a shooting qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor’s Guide that participants can take home with them for future reference.  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/f968PvR1A8Y” el_width=”60″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is “gateway instruction“?” tab_id=”topics”][vc_column_text]When we say “gateway instruction\,” we mean true entry-level content\, designed for students who’ve overcome boundaries\, obstacles\, social disincentives\, or other adverse odds to learn to shoot for the first time. We have found that many “beginner” classes on the market are often weighed down by assumptions and misperceptions about what new shooters typically bring with them. These classes often take for granted that every student has the same opinion about guns\, everyone has the same understanding of gun safety\, and everyone generally understands how guns work and what they’re used for. But that’s often not the case. \nAt CSA\, we take a different approach. Gateway instruction levels the playing field by allowing all students to enter the firearms training world without any pressure to know more than they know\, or to be someone they aren’t. One of the many benefits of this teaching technique (and the reason we call it “gateway instruction”) is that it greatly increases the chances of students investing in more training and becoming members of the training community\, rather than just visitors or sightseers. We hope to be an “on-ramp” for those who might otherwise see themselves as outsiders to the gun world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Topics Covered” tab_id=”1628349014244-f4941925-2c89″][vc_column_text]Every class is a little different\, so we often have to make adjustments based on time and facility constraints; but our standard Gateway Instructor curriculum includes the following: \n\nAdult learning theory\nEffective communication skills / public speaking\nDepoliticizing instruction\, content\, and facilities\nDesigning and using effective training aids\nConnecting with inexperienced\, fearful\, and non-traditional students\nMaking classroom lectures interactive and engaging\nEffective use of multi-media in the modern classroom\nConcepts from the pivotal text\, “Telling Ain’t Training\,” by Keeps and Stolovitch\nClassroom management\nRange management\nTeaching basic principles of lawful defensive force\nManaging students with past trauma or emotional triggers\nEffective assessment / written examination design\nHow to control and command a firing line\nThe “Less is More” principle\nEffective range commands\nStudent-centric range exercises\nDifferentiating between skill drills and performance drills\nManaging students with physical limitations or disabilities\nTeaching both left- and right-handed students\nManaging firing lines with revolvers and semi-autos of different action types\nEffective use of assistant instructors\nSafety protocols and emergency procedures\nAnd much more!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]For this class\, you’ll need: \n\nAn open  mind\nA positive attitude\nA reliable semi-automatic handgun (9mm or larger)\nRoughly 200 rounds of ammunition (ammo usage will depend on how many times we need to shoot the 25-round qualification course and how much time we have to shoot skill drills).\nEye and ear protection\nComfortable clothing appropriate for shooting (indoor ranges can be cold)\, brimmed hat/cap\, trimmed fingernails (no high-heeled or open-toed shoes or low cut blouses) snacks and water. If at an outdoor range\, weather appropriate attire\, bug spray\, snacks and water\nNotebook and pens or an electronic device (laptop/tablet) for note taking\n\nNote that you will NOT need a holster for the range exercises. We’ll send an email to all students within a week of class with more details on what to bring and what to expect. \nNote on Ammo:\nWe are mindful of the current ammunition shortage. We will do our very best to be conservative with ammo consumption throughout this course. The round count in the equipment list is a generous estimate\, and we hope to avoid having to use all of it. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”1628346266996-187710a0-a7dc”][vc_column_text]Instructor candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience.

SUMMARY:Effective Assistant Instructors Webinar: Part 3 (Practical Exercises)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Serving as an assistant instructor requires unique skills that are often taken for granted. How can we be more effective in this essential role? In this third webinar of our three-part series\, we’ll go through a few practical exercises to reinforce the discussions from the first two webinars.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nMany people enjoy the limelight of being a lead firearms instructor\, teaching at the front of a classroom and giving commands on the firing line. Equally important but less often recognized is the role of the assistant instructor. Being an effective assistant trainer requires more than just standing behind a row of shooters or loitering in the back of the classroom. How do you handle a nervous student? Or a student who doesn’t follow directions? Or one who is unsafe\, chatty\, inattentive\, physically compromised\, or just plain terrified? What is the assistant instructor’s role\, and how is it different from the lead instructor\, or the range safety officer\, or the one-on-one coach?  \nIn this three-part webinar series\, the CSA crew explores some useful tips\, skills\, and best practices that elevate the A.I. from just another person hanging around to an indispensable part of the training team. CSA’s Assistant Instructor training is specifically tailored to sharpen those skills that are unique to optimizing the A.I.’s role in the classroom and on the range\, especially for new shooters and in introductory to mid-level classes. The A.I.’s ultimate goals are (1) making the lead trainer’s job easier and (2) making the students feel safe\, comfortable\, and welcome (all of which facilitates learning and retention).  \nRegister for one\, two\, or all three webinars to learn best practices for assistant instructors both in the classroom and on the firing range.

SUMMARY:Effective Assistant Instructors Webinar: Part 1 (The Classroom)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Serving as an assistant instructor requires unique skills that are often taken for granted. How can we be more effective in this essential role? In this first webinar of our three-part series\, we’ll discuss the role AIs play in the classroom.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nMany people enjoy the limelight of being a lead firearms instructor\, teaching at the front of a classroom and giving commands on the firing line. Equally important but less often recognized is the role of the assistant instructor. Being an effective assistant trainer requires more than just standing behind a row of shooters or loitering in the back of the classroom. How do you handle a nervous student? Or a student who doesn’t follow directions? Or one who is unsafe\, chatty\, inattentive\, physically compromised\, or just plain terrified? What is the assistant instructor’s role\, and how is it different from the lead instructor\, or the range safety officer\, or the one-on-one coach?  \nIn this three-part webinar series\, the CSA crew explores some useful tips\, skills\, and best practices that elevate the A.I. from just another person hanging around to an indispensable part of the training team. CSA’s Assistant Instructor training is specifically tailored to sharpen those skills that are unique to optimizing the A.I.’s role in the classroom and on the range\, especially for new shooters and in introductory to mid-level classes. The A.I.’s ultimate goals are (1) making the lead trainer’s job easier and (2) making the students feel safe\, comfortable\, and welcome (all of which facilitates learning and retention).  \nRegister for one\, two\, or all three webinars to learn best practices for assistant instructors both in the classroom and on the firing range. Kudos to Tim Reedy of TDR Training for hosting these virtual events! \n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/V5JBr7i5ELc” el_width=”70″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Topics Covered” tab_id=”topics”][vc_column_text]\nEffective Assistant Instructor Webinar Series Part 1: \nAssistant Instructors in the Classroom\n\nTuesday\, January 17\, 2023\n7pm CT (8pm ET; 5pm PT) – Runs 2 hours\n$30 stand-alone webinar (or included in the 3-part series for $75)\n\nPart 1 of our three-part webinar series is all about the role assistant instructors play in classroom instruction.

SUMMARY:Guns 101: Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you thinking about buying a gun but still a little nervous\, unsure\, or scared? Do you have lingering questions or concerns? Do you own a gun but feel less than confident in operating or carrying it? If so\, this webinar is for you. It’s is a FREE online educational Q&A panel where anyone can ask almost any question about firearms and the armed lifestyle.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Webinar Info” tab_id=”section-webinar-info”][vc_column_text]The sole purpose of this online seminar is to provide a non-intimidating environment where people can feel comfortable asking about almost any firearms-related topic. The only thing off limits is politics. This is a politics-free zone\, so we will not be discussing gun policy or legislation. \nWe’ll start with a very brief presentation on safety\, and then we’ll open the floor for an extended Q&A period. No question is too simple. Please invite the family\, invite your friends and co-workers\, and bring all the questions you’ve ever had about guns or going armed. We’ll be happy to give you as much information as we can so you can make more informed decisions about the next step in your personal security plans.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3175″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”fadeInRight” link=”https://g101.eventbrite.com”][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How to Join the Online Seminar” tab_id=”how-to-join”][vc_column_text]\nAttend from anywhere!\nThis virtual seminar will take place online using Zoom video conferencing. We’ll meet quarterly\, on the third Wednesday of January\, April\, July\, and October\, at 6:30pm Central (7:30pm Eastern\, 4:30 Pacific). You’re welcome to join for one session or as many as you like. The event is free\, but pre-registration is required for each event.  \nOn the day before the event\, we will send all registered attendees a link by email. We’ll send the link to the email provided in your Eventbrite registration. Please do not share the link with others\, as we really need to have an accurate count of how many people will be attending. If you know anyone who is interested in joining us\, please invite them to register for the event. \nNew to Zoom? The resources posted below might help. However\, you do NOT have to be a “tech whiz” to join the meeting. It’s very simple. Once we send you the link\, all you have to do is make sure you’ve got a good internet signal\, click the link\, and enjoy the seminar! \n\nZoom YouTube Channel\nZoom support page and tutorials\nHow to join a Zoom meeting\nHow to adjust your audio and video settings in Zoom\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Required Equipment” tab_id=”required-equipment”][vc_column_text]To attend our online version of Guns 101\, all you need is a reliable internet connection and an open mind. You can join from a mobile device\, but it’s often easier to use a laptop or desktop. Questions will be typed in using Zoom’s Q&A chat feature\, but if you’d like to be recognized to speak aloud\, please make sure your microphone is also connected and working properly. \nWhen you get ready to join the meeting\, you might be prompted to install the Zoom software. That is totally optional\, but using the software usually provides the smoothest experience on a Zoom video-conference call. If you like\, you can go ahead and install the software ahead of time. If you’ll be using a regular computer\, install the Zoom Client for Meetings. If you’re be using a mobile device\, install the Zoom mobile app.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What NOT to Bring” tab_id=”what-not-to-bring”][vc_column_text]If you attend the seminar\, do NOT have any firearms or ammunition anywhere in the room with you. This will not be a show-and-tell session. No attendees will be allowed to handle guns or ammunition during the seminar. If the event organizers suspect that anyone is handling guns or ammo\, that person will be removed from the webinar.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Zoom Test” tab_id=”zoom-test”][vc_column_text]Using Zoom isn’t difficult at all.

Instructor candidates will learn to develop\, organize\, and teach a basic defense-oriented pistol curriculum in the paradigm of “gateway instruction” developed by Citizens Safety Academy.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]\nThis course teaches experienced shooters how to design\, organize\, and conduct a gateway (entry-level) pistol shooting course.  \nThere are many instructor certification courses available\, but most suffer from at least one of three common shortcomings. First\, they often spend too much time on shooting and not enough time on teaching how to teach. Second\, they often focus on teaching intermediate-level shooters without enough attention paid to the nuances of managing a class full of brand-new\, first-time shooters.  \nThird\, many instructor courses tend to ignore the cultural and demographic dynamics of today’s market of firearms trainees. With the recent explosion of gun purchases by urbanites\, millennials\, trauma victims\, and others who don’t fit the traditional stereotypes of gun ownership\, firearms trainers must adapt to the rapidly-evolving 21st Century market. CSA developed what we call the “gateway” instructional model in an effort to fill those gaps in the training community.  \nInstructor candidates will learn and demonstrate organizational and teaching skills via participation in practical exercises during the course\, they’ll complete an instructor certification examination\, and they’ll have to pass a shooting qualification course of fire. The course also includes an Instructor’s Guide that participants can take home with them for future reference.  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/f968PvR1A8Y” el_width=”60″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is “gateway instruction“?” tab_id=”topics”][vc_column_text]When we say “gateway instruction\,” we mean true entry-level content\, designed for students who’ve overcome boundaries\, obstacles\, social disincentives\, or other adverse odds to learn to shoot for the first time. We have found that many “beginner” classes on the market are often weighed down by assumptions and misperceptions about what new shooters typically bring with them. These classes often take for granted that every student has the same opinion about guns\, everyone has the same understanding of gun safety\, and everyone generally understands how guns work and what they’re used for. But that’s often not the case. \nAt CSA\, we take a different approach. Gateway instruction levels the playing field by allowing all students to enter the firearms training world without any pressure to know more than they know\, or to be someone they aren’t. One of the many benefits of this teaching technique (and the reason we call it “gateway instruction”) is that it greatly increases the chances of students investing in more training and becoming members of the training community\, rather than just visitors or sightseers. We hope to be an “on-ramp” for those who might otherwise see themselves as outsiders to the gun world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Topics Covered” tab_id=”1628349014244-f4941925-2c89″][vc_column_text]\n\nAdult learning theory\nEffective communication skills / public speaking\nDepoliticizing instruction\, content\, and facilities\nDesigning and using effective training aids\nConnecting with inexperienced\, fearful\, and non-traditional students\nMaking classroom lectures interactive and engaging\nEffective use of multi-media in the modern classroom\nConcepts from the pivotal text\, “Telling Ain’t Training\,” by Keeps and Stolovitch\nClassroom management\nRange management\nTeaching basic principles of lawful defensive force\nManaging students with past trauma or emotional triggers\nEffective assessment / written examination design\nHow to control and command a firing line\nThe “Less is More” principle\nEffective range commands\nStudent-centric range exercises\nDifferentiating between skill drills and performance drills\nManaging students with physical limitations or disabilities\nTeaching both left- and right-handed students\nManaging firing lines with revolvers and semi-autos of different action types\nEffective use of assistant instructors\nSafety protocols and emergency procedures\nAnd much more!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]For this class\, you’ll need: \n\nAn open  mind\nA positive attitude\nA reliable semi-automatic handgun (9mm or larger)\nRoughly 200 rounds of ammunition (ammo usage will depend on how many times we need to shoot the 25-round qualification course\, so 200 rounds is a generous estimation).\nEye and ear protection\nComfortable clothing appropriate for shooting (indoor ranges can be cold)\, brimmed hat/cap\, trimmed fingernails (no high-heeled or open-toed shoes or low cut blouses) snacks and water.

If you have questions about suitability of the course\, please email us at info@CitizensSafety.com or text us at 615-801-8007.  \nStudents who complete the course will receive a completion certificate.  \nWhat you will need to take the course: \n\nA quality pistol recommend minimum of 9mm or .38 Special. We recommend full or compact sized guns for this class. Sub-compact guns are much harder to shoot all day. A second gun like the first one is a good idea in case the first one breaks\nA quality strong side hip or appendix holster – either form fitted leather or kydex\, the holster must completely cover the trigger guard\, allow a full firing grip with the gun in the holster and remain open while the gun is drawn. PLEASE NO flimsy nylon or cloth holsters\nA quality Belt\, designed to securely attach the holster to the belt and support the weight of a fully loaded pistol\nAt least 300 rounds of quality factory ammunition suitable for practice. Bring more if you have it and we’ll have even more fun. \n3 magazines or speed loaders with 2 appropriate pouches for the spare magazines\nClothing appropriate for concealing a firearm (vest\, jacket\, windbreaker\, over-shirt\, polo shirt\, etc). Holsters must be worn concealed.\nEye protection and hearing protection (we recommend electronic) and a ball cap or brimmed hat to keep brass from going behind your eye protection. \nRain gear (we train rain or shine)\, bug dope\, and sun screen \nA cooler with soft drinks\, water\, snacks and lunch will be needed\, for lunch on site. We will not be leaving the range for lunch.\n\nYou can bring a revolver to this course\, but we strongly recommend against it as they tend not to last a full day of intensive shooting.  \nIf you need help putting the above items together please contact us before the class. Info@CitizensSafety.com \nYour primary instructor will be Aqil Qadir\, assisted by Monique Clarke of Lioness Defense Firearms Training. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Register Now” tab_id=”section-register-now”][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
